fun game the wormhole feature is awesome

Enjoyable active incremental game, took 2.6 hours to complete, mid-game was slightly middling but it turned around and got quite good again. Barebones but decent story, all in all a solid game

[h1]Great filler[/h1] It's not bad, main "gravitational pull" gimmick of this game is satisfying to use, but mid-late game can get grindy and repetitive for some. [hr][/hr][b]Progression[/b] is [b]very[/b] similar to "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/4035270/Space_Rock_Breaker/]Space rock breaker[/url]": nicely paced out main upgrade tree and [b]very[/b] linear/fixed progression prestige tree which i didnt like in that game, and so in this one. Made me feel like prestiges here were an [b]unnecessary padding[/b]. It felt like this due to some of the upgrades/passive bonuses were [b]based on chance[/b]: chance to get more money after run's end, chance to clear a level effortlessly because a power up spawned in, chance to get a good card from the vault, etc. To make the game not end too fast, dev balanced the game around these, so its a hit-or-miss in that regard, i am personally not a fan. What i did enjoy though is its [b]main gimmick[/b]. You use your cursor to pull asteroids around towards it and smash them against each other. This process is satisfying, responsive and gets funny when revisiting early levels when upgraded beyond its needed requirements. And the fact that there's no "magnet range" upgrade because its set to infinite by default is a [b]big plus[/b]. Another nice bonus is how this game's particle system interacts with this gimmick, background fog and asteroid's crushed particles are being affected by your pulls and they feel natural and smooth to look at. And a huge [b][u]cheese[/u] opportunity[/b]: [spoiler]when you pause your game - its not [b]actually[/b] paused, only your energy drain is. So you can use it to pull asteroids, "pause", wait for them to break stuff around, repeat. That will save you from "passively drained energy" and "next level transfer delay". Not that its needed, but in some cases it can be more efficient compared to legit play.[/spoiler][hr][/hr] Game's worthy to try out on a sale or in a bundle (or both), late game's grindy nature can be excused by it's wormhole gimmick and the power curves in progression, i liked them. Prestige is subpar, but i've seen worse.

everything just everything

A nice, satisfying and tasty little incremental game. Can be beaten in about 2-3 hours, but it feels nice while you do it. Worth the price, sad that it's not longer.

un bon petit jeu j'attends la suite
